"Faisal Hoque’s encouraging leadership book Lift looks for contemporary opportunities to make a difference through one’s business choices. Confronting realities like climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic, this book is about empathetic transformations to the ways that people work. It seeks to effect change on a wide social level via everyday decisions, asserting that “meaningful leadership is becoming even more essential.” It also provides the tools to nurture emotional intelligence and collaborative skills, arguing that effective leaders provide both, as well as engaging in experiential learning."

"LIFT is itself an act of transformational leadership. Faisal Hoque guides us with wisdom, empathy, and optimism through the complex, confusing - and often frightening - convergent forces at work which are changing the way we interact with our communities, and our entire biosphere. Hoque leads us through the deep work necessary to recognize the import of those sweeping changes and urges us to take pragmatic action to become an agent for positive change -- the kind of person who can transform from good intention, to leading others, to meaningful action and positive impact. Our children, and their children, may one day ask about these times, ‘What were you thinking? What were you doing?’ If you are asking yourself, ‘What can I do?’ this book is for you. Faisal Hoque gives us clarity, purpose, direction -- and hope."

With constant societal, environmental, and professional changes in our world, transactional leadership just won’t cut it anymore.”

"Transformational leadership takes a good deal of learning and becoming better every day far beyond good intentions. In his insightful and practical book, Lift, Faisal Hoque shares great lessons beyond the realms of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I highly recommend Lift to all leaders aiming to enhance their leadership capacity for growth and crafting their own lives embracing a brighter future for others."
---Dr. Oleg Konovalov, one of the top global leaders on leadership, author of The Vision Code, the da Vinci of visionary leadership

“An inspiring book that helps us to be aware of the huge world changes and our role as leaders in different contexts. Faisal Hoque highlights the importance of enhancing our human skills and empathy as leaders in a world increasingly automated due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The author includes in his discussion the complex times that came along with the pandemic and its further effects on our lifestyle. This book is friendly to read and has a didactic structure which makes it valuable not only for scholars but practitioners, managers, entrepreneurs, or anyone that wants to lead successfully in this complex environment that we live in.”
